re: Kiper's Top 10 QB Prospects: Mettenberger No. 5

Easy now, I'd love for tSaint's to draft him and let him sit and learn from Bree's for a year or two...

Brees will be playing at least 5 or 6 more years IMO

That'll change before the draft. He'll move up.

It'd be cool as frick if Bree's can play another 5 or 6 years for tSaint's at his current productive rate, but it's simply not likely imo.

Manziel's future in tNFL is entirely dependent on him becoming a pass-first guy obviously, he's just too small to think otherwise, but he's also the exact same size as Bree's so why not learn from the master how to survive and thrive in tNFL.

And keep in mind, Johnny Football won't prolly demand that much leverage relatively speaking, he'll prolly be available in late 2nd or early 3rd so the risk/reward is a positive investment.

Manzel is not an NFL qb no way NFL teams have him rated highly

That's exactly the thought process that could make him available to tSaints's for cheap.

Why would the saints want him?? he isn't a very good passer

Say's who?
Sure, he's known more for his running ability but ask Bama if his 500+ yards passing was a fluke.

He's maybe not NFL ready as a passer right this moment, but the skills are certainly there to be so.

I agree, that's why Mett moves up.
I wouldn't want Manziel.
Mett? Of course. Tall, can see over the line, etc.
I'd like to see him more mobile.

Did you watch the game??

Most of his yards required no passing skills. He would just scramble around a lot and throw to a wide open receiver or throw a jump ball to Mike Evans.

He doesn't make NFL throws like some of the other QB's mentioned.

Kiper sucks at this so that bodes for Mett in the draft. What has Kiper ever been right about?

Of course I watched that game, and was very impressed with his competitiveness when he could have just given up hope.

Too many tangiables are taken into consideration nowadays in regards to potential for QB's. How many proto-type passers(ala JaMarcus?) have we seen fail at the next level?

It's the un-tangiables that make or break prospects, and I see Johnny Football as having plenty of those in regards to a possible future with tSaint's.
